John Cena Vows To Never Return To A WWE Ring After Retirement

John Cena has 17 days left on his retirement tour.

In what has been a year dedicated to one of the all-time greats in wrestling, Cena has maintained a brilliant heel persona.

The 17-time World Champion recently appeared on Good Morning America, where he confirmed that he won’t wrestle once he retires.

There is no way [that I will be returning to the ring after my retirement]. There is absolutely… I don’t want to speak in absolutes because I don’t want to close any opportunity. But I made a promise to the fans that have allowed me to be here for a quarter of a century. They’ve allowed me to sit with you today. I wouldn’t want to disrespect them like that. This is an event that I want, when people attend, it’s very exclusive. We do Geosite merch. The ‘I was there’ stuff is really select, and limited, and the moments I share with people. I wouldn’t want to ruin that just for selfish gain. [H/T Wrestlezone.com]

It is refreshing to see the amount of respect Cena carries for the fan base, despite having lashed out at them during multiple WWE tapings.
